JC slowly started to come to, pain being whisked away and leaving him feeling far better. However, upon opening his eyes, he saw it was Kayleb healing him, Kayleb taking on his injuries. JC pulled himself from Kayleb's grasp, knowing he had been healed well enough. Kayleb commented about his stupid bike and moved to heal the others. When he finished, Manny teleported Kayleb away, leaving JC alone with the twins. JC hated having Kayleb heal him, and definitely owed him big time for this.
“Wasn't the bike, Rotor attacked me, and then some kid... long story.” His entire body felt sore, Despite Kayleb's healing. If JC had let Kayleb continue, the soreness would be gone, but there was no way he would let his friend be in pain because JC wanted to avoid being sore. Tentatively, testing his protesting ribs, JC sat up in the bed and looked over at the room. Amanda was very quiet, and Tina looked like she wanted to commit murder. Something big had to have occurred... and it likely involved Riley as he was not here.
“Where is Riley? Did you stop Ivy?” JC asked the girls, knowing something was wrong. There was no reason Riley would not be with them, at least no good reason. Tina angrily explained how Riley was Rotor, using a variety of tricks and robotics to trick them all. JC's eyes narrowed in anger just as Manny returned, explaining he was heading back out, and asking to be relieved as soon as possible. It was at this time that Shaundi's voice came to life over the base PA.
“Our communications have been compromised, I am sending out the reset signal, blocking out Rotor.” she said. She was hard at work in the control room, monitoring everything and trying to coordinate everything. Unfortunately, she arrived just in time for everything to go to hell, and so she had to mop things up. Manny and Sheera brought everyone back, but now Manny had to go back out. She heard the Rotor-Riley story, and knew they had to change their communication channels. A reset signal sent out would give the specified devices new encryption codes.
Rotor felt a signal pass into him as he was returning to his home. A reset... they were changing their communications against him. It would be a very simple matter to imitate another communication device and obtain the code; for him at least. He did not do it however. Rather, he let it go as he drove through the streets. Once he had been out of sight of Amanda and Tina, hehad slowed down, and obeyed the rules of the road. It was slow, but is was a simple enough task that he was partially occupied mentally. If he was alone with his thoughts and nothing to do he would lose it right now.
“I'm going to find Jack Frost and Rotor... we need to know if we need to abandon the base. I'll handle that prep work, you two rest up.” JC said, getting off the bed. As he passed Tina, he shot a look of concern for Amanda; he didn't need to tell her to take care of her twin, that much he was sure of. “Manny, I'm doing what I can to get you back in here. I'm really sorry buddy.” JC said over the communicators as he headed out of the medbay. Once out of the medbay, he saw Kayleb on the couch, looking as if he was trying to rest up.
“Kayleb, thank you. I owe you big time, if there is anything I can do, let me know.” JC told his friend as he passed by him to head into the kitchen. “Seriously, anything.” he added over his shoulder as he looked into the fridge... who took all the energy gels? As he pondered this, he sent Shaundi a message, telling her to start tracking Rotor via Riley's communicator. They had to find him, and if they could not trust Jack at least to keep Rotor in line... it would mean having to move bases. Not a good thing to have to do if they could help it.
"Roger bossman" Shaundi replied to herself as she stared at the screens in front of her. She started the tracking program, hoping for some luck. If they could find Rotor, they could arrest him... well, that part would be tricky. He had not broken any laws by lying to them... but he was a thief and he likely broke plenty of laws... they would have to chat with him or keep an eye on him and act accordingly. Hopefully the less angry Redhawk would be the side of their leader to handle this. If angry hawk took control... that would not be good. For anyone.
